For what it's worth, I defragmented my hard drive and added a 512MB stick to my rig and it is now running smooth as silk.

Athlon XP 3200+
1 GB DDR400 (Upgraded from 512MB)
X800 PRO (Flashed to an X800 XE)

I don't know if more ram will fix that. I get it too, and I'm at 1gig of RAM. Reports of this problem have been from users with all types of setups. I just changed sound card drivers and I'll see if that works, as usually turning a corner is accompanied by some audio.
